Don’t confuse bad parenting with the incidental artifacts.

My kid has had an ITouch since age two. She’s now in kindergarten and writes, calculates, and demonstrates improvisational thinking better than her mother and I did by the second grade.

Sure, she could be a vidiot if we made video her only meaningful interaction, but we don’t.

In today’s context, criticism of the computer interface is like criticizing paper and ink two hundred years ago.
